In the deep silence of the night, Gao Caiqin opened her eyes suddenly.

She had that feeling again, as if she had entered a subtle, silent dream.

There was a person standing under the bed, she couldn't see it really, but she knew that it was Lin Xuerou for no reason. She was still wearing the old red dress, like a ghost floating in the night.

She mechanically opened the door, and through the crack in the door let in a faint shadow of the moon and the lights, bringing in a glimmer of light.

She saw Lin Xuerou's face clearly, it was the delicate face she was familiar with, but the temperament of the whole person had changed a lot, as if she was a complete stranger.

She had already walked out of the dormitory, and Gao Caiqin rolled out of bed and followed again.

This time, Lin Xuerou did not go to the rooftop, but went straight downstairs, and the two of them walked in the empty campus one after the other.

"Where are you going?" Gao Caiqin, who was following behind, couldn't help but ask out loud.

But Lin Xuerou didn't seem to hear her voice, and walked forward by herself.

Gao Caiqin's heart began to beat a drum, even if this was the campus environment she was extremely familiar with, it could not eliminate the fear in her heart. I always feel that in the silent and deep darkness, there is a hidden power that can engulf people.

The two unknowingly came to the edge of the playground. Gao Caiqin couldn't help but feel a move in her heart: Lin Xuerou disappeared after coming here last week. She's here again, what the hell is she trying to do?

Lin Xuerou accurately found the iron fence that hid the mechanism. Moving horizontally, lightly lifting, there was a piercing sound of metal friction in the quiet night sky, followed by the resonance of the rows of iron railings, emitting a tone as distant and simple as Huang Zhong Dalu.

Gao Caiqin's heart was shocked, and she stood for a moment, her mind seemed to drift to a misty ocean, with mist and waves as far as her eyes could see, while she was in a swaying lonely boat, drifting with the waves.

There is a twisting strip in the water, with black and white circular patterns intertwined. It swims freely, its curves are graceful and enchanting, and it is simply more beautiful than all the dancing girls in the world. It gently wrapped around the girl's ankles and slowly climbed up her delicate calves, its delicate scales gently rubbing against her skin with a chilling touch that made people shudder.

It wrapped around the girl's neck, feeling the blood flowing under her skin, spitting letters, listening to her rhythmic heartbeat.

The sea snake opened its mouth, revealing two teeth as sharp as a needle: "The mermaid in the sea made a deal with me and sold me the song, are you the buyer?" ”

What? The girl's mind was confused, but she heard a response: "Yes." ”

The sound didn't come from her throat, it was more like it came from her stomach. She tried to touch her belly to see what was there, but the sea serpent got tangled around her body, and she didn't dare to move.

"Good! Good! The sea serpent's mouth grinned a little more, and its teeth bared a few more inches.

"What do you want me to trade for?" The voice asked.

"I want you......" the sea serpent's mouth was already open to the maximum. Sing! ”

After speaking, two fangs like thin needles had already penetrated the girl's delicate neck.

"Ahh

I don't know how long it took, a voice of some age kept calling in her ear, and finally pulled her back to reality.

"What class are you in? How did it end up here? In front of him was a dignified old man with gray hair, he was of medium stature, with thin cheeks, and wrinkled eyes, but Gao Caiqin's heart trembled at the sight. She had seen the old man several times in the days since Lin Xuerou disappeared, and it was Huang Yang, the retired and rehired director of their school.

Gao Caiqin suddenly woke up. I don't know when the sky has been flushed with a hint of fish belly white, it seems that it should have been past 6 o'clock in the morning. She had been here for so long, and yet she didn't notice it, as if she had disappeared into thin air for hours in his life. Just as she was about to move her steps, she felt that her legs were already sore, and if she hadn't seemed to be holding something in her hands and supporting her, she would have been unable to stand steadily.

She came back to her senses and looked at it, and what she was holding in her hand was the iron fence that could be removed. She was now standing in the green forest outside the school, about ten meters away from the playground fence, and Huang Yang was leaning out through the big gap and was about to step out of the fence and walk towards her.

He glanced at Gao Caiqin's helpless and confused little face and the things she was holding in her hand, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Gao Caiqin was suppressed by his momentum, immediately let go of the things in his hand, and stammered a complete sentence: "Old ...... Teacher, I ...... I ......"

"What class are you from?" Huang Yang asked again.

"The second year of junior high school...... Class 6 ......"

"Teacher Qin Nanzhu's class?"

"Hmm...... Be...... Yes...... "Gao Caiqin's head is already going down into the dirt.

Huang Yang glanced at her a few more times, and shook his head helplessly: "Come in first...... Get that railing in! Nowadays, students are getting more and more capable, and they are all starting to act as institutions to deal with schools and teachers. If I hadn't found out today, I wouldn't have been able to find your secret! ”

Gao Caiqin picked up the things on the ground and followed the old man into the school.

Wrong! What about Lin Xuerou? I was dazed by the lesson of boxwood just now, and I forgot about this stubble. She timidly whispered behind Huang Yang, "Old ...... Teacher, there's still no one outside coming in......"

Huang Yangtou didn't reply, and snorted unceremoniously: "I know that you little rabbit cubs can't do anything good when they get together all day long, skip class and run away from a nest, and learn a whole group." You go with me to the Academic Affairs Office first and write down the names of the people who skipped school today! ”

Gao Caiqin knew that Huang Yang had misunderstood herself, so she had to muster up the courage to explain: "No, teacher. I came out with someone else, and there was a classmate in our dormitory who was not in a good mental state for the past two days, and she sleepwalked at night, and I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I followed her out......"

Huang Yang listened to her explanation and couldn't help but be a little surprised, he had been a teacher for so many years, and no student had ever thought of such a peculiar reason to explain his truancy.

"Today's students are really getting more and more creative. Ten years ago, students all said that they forgot their homework, that someone in the family was sick or something, or they would simply die and not be afraid of boiling water, and criticize what should be done after education. I don't think you should say that you are sleepwalking, you should say that you are sleepwalking, otherwise, where is your sleepwalking classmate now? ”

Gao Caiqin saw that he didn't believe it, and she was also anxious, and her face turned red: "What I said is true!" It's the girl who disappeared last week, and I'm in the same dorm with her! ”

Huang Yang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her words: "Are you talking about the girl named Lin Xuerou?" ”

"Yes!"

But Huang Yang, who heard her return, not only didn't believe her, but looked her up and down with more strange eyes, and then there was more mockery on his face: "So, you've been acting from beginning to end, right?" I just thought that you should not be the kind of child who has bad behavior, but you are afraid that the teacher will blame you and lie, but you should not take the teacher for a fool. ”

"What did you say, teacher?" The doubts and incomprehension on Gao Caiqin's face were overflowing.

"We have been paying attention to Lin Xuerou's child, she herself suffered an unfortunate thing and lost her father. Recently, it has been Teacher Qin who has been taking care of her and living with her. What did you say that you saw her sleepwalking, so may I ask this classmate, where did you see her sleepwalking? ”

Huang Yang's words were like a blow to the head, and she was dizzy. She had been fighting for hours in this cold night, a little groggy, but now she was even more unsteady on her feet, and almost fell over. She rubbed her head and suddenly remembered something: "No, no. Last Friday, Teacher Qin asked me for the key to our dormitory, saying that she would take care of her in the dormitory. If they live together, ask me what the dormitory key for? ”。

Huang Yang didn't answer her question, and in the distance came a figure she was all too familiar with.

"Your Teacher Qin is here, if you have any questions, ask her directly."
